- Comment: I get the feeling that these hooks can be improved somehow
5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 17:35, 4 February 2020 (UTC).
This impressive five-fold expansion is new enough and long enough. The hook facts for ALT3 are cited inline, the image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. I have not checked the other hooks because they seemed less interesting to a general audience. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:57, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
